Creating Joy!

Last month was a bumpy and exhilarating ride. Jupiter, the cosmic Santa, temporarily dropped its cape and left the ecstasy of Pisces for the limitations of Aquarius.  Like clockwork, mask regulations returned in the US. Thankfully, the planetary reversal is temporary. On December 28, the planet of good fortune returns home. Fingers crossed that we receive relief before then.

In addition, each of the personal planets opposed restriction-loving Saturn and then squared off with wild card Uranus. If you felt this disruptive energy, did you break down or break through? I would love to hear your stories. Reply to this email if you would like to share your experience.

Good news! The New Moon at 16º Leo on August 8 at 6:49am PT coincides with the annual Lion's Gate portal. Sirius, the second brightest star in the sky, is rising, and the numerology is on point. 8/ 8 offers endless possibilities. I suggest setting the alarm to meditate on the dream you have for your life at the exact time of the New Moon. Don't miss the manifestation portal. Have courage, believe in yourself, and be ready to get lucky. Your hard work will pay off. Are you playing small? If so, release self-limiting beliefs. If you experience delays during this lunar cycle, persevere.

Celebrate yourself during your New Moon ritual. Take time to peacock. Set intentions around creating joy and breaking free from restrictions.

Some prompts for journaling, oracle cards, or contemplation:

🌻 How can I make space for more joy in my life?
🦚 What traits do I most admire about myself?
🏆 What accomplishments fill me with pride?
🧱 What self-imposed limitations can I break down and release?

I love chatting with the wise Colin Bedell of Queer Cosmos. This brilliant Gemini and I discussed a range of topics, including August's astrology, working through shame, and more this week on Instagram Live. Enjoy the video here.
